Our Inclusion & Diversity Promise
The Leather Soidarity Collective firmly believes that the diverse thought and experience of women, non-binary genders, Black, Indigenous and all People of Color expands our Community’s knowledge and will create a better future, and we are committed to accelerating the representation of those groups across our conference. To meet this goal LSC will be asking for demographic information from each of our speakers.
